That's why you take the last shot of the 4th quarter...

[ThaTopMoron]

Manu didn't get the memo

[necro]

I am so happy tha San antonio lost, simply cant stand that Shitnobilli and that stupid look on Splitter face

But Parker was good, i like his play

[Vinnie Paz]

They left 1.7 on the clock. If I'm San an ill take that scenario 100 times out of 100

[SharpAngles]

Because going up 2 with 1.7 seconds left was so dumb

[visualrealism]

fk u vince carter!!

[MoneylineExpress]

Yep. Needed to wait a hair longer. You either win or go to OT. You don't lose with possession and the shot clocked turned off. Mavs probably hit a 3 pointer 25% to 30% of the time in that situation. Had a bad feeling when I saw 1.7 seconds and the ball at half court. Spurs might be done.

[jtoler]

Way to go vince.

[jtoler]

Its not so easy as you think to not leave no time youre battling against a decent look to no look at all.

[larryp0405]

not his fault, thats just bad luck

[MoneylineExpress]

Then you go to OT. You don't let Dallas get the last shot.

as opposed to cuban flapping his toungue out his mouth ?

Nah Id rather be up 2 with 1.7 left, thats a winning probability, if Manu missed there was a possibility of a Spurs rebound and putback also. Id rather go with getting a shot off as good a look as I can get, he got a decent look, slim chance Mavs hit 3 to win, in OT on the road in playoffs, nah Id rather be up 2 with 1.7 left.

[CWD]

no manu fukked up it would have been a little more time his shot had that toilet bowl im sure a few more tenths at least, he's been around long enough to know better, he blew it

Doesnt matter if he would have left 4 seconds, thing is the Mavs still had to make a basket. Its alot easier to lose in OT than it is up 2 with a few seconds left.

over your head i guess

by your logic why run the clock down at all

[jtoler]

So instead of giving Mavs a few seconds and youre up 2 youd rather give them 5 more minutes at home when youre the one already behind 2-1 in the series, now I see why so many lose at this.

[bigtymer56]

Lmao at this shit. Dudes actually getting on somebody for scoring with 1.7 seconds left.

Um, the series was tied 1-1 before the game concluded. And yes, I would rather have the last shot of the game if I were the Spurs. Dallas has plenty of 3pt shooters and VC/Dirk are guys that can get good shots off with a defender in their face.

[MoneylineExpress]

1.7 seconds at half court is plenty of time to get a good look. Shit, VC even had enough time to double clutch. The Spurs are supposably the better team, so what's wrong if Manu misses with the game clock expiring, then you get 5 more minutes of OT. I've seen too much crazy shit happen in the NBA. You want the last shot.

Getting a shot off and actually making it are two different things.
Im sure Pop wasnt mad at Manu and had to like his chances. He'll talk in presser or somewhere.

[jtoler]

I didnt even look at the odds but Im sure every book had that at around at least -1500 or more.

[MoneylineExpress]

So your saying Dallas only hits a 3pter in that situation 7% of the time? LMAO. I'll take those odds any day. They probably hit it 1 out 5 times.

-1500 prob too high but prob around -800. 1 out of 5 with 1.7, I highly doubt that other things can happen too like a turnover, tipped ball out of bounds leaving less time.

[ThaTopMoron]

some agree, some say they would like to be up 2 with 1.7...

not if the other team has a timeout left

seen crazy shit too often over the years

Derek Fisher's shot to win a game with only .4 left...

that's why you take a shot and make sure it will be the last one

my opinion

Bro that was 10 years ago, how many times in that scenario do you think a team won vs. them losing. You think youd lose more times in that scenario or lose more times in OT.

you thought the Mavs weren't gonna win? you embarassed urself in my thread mavs were never in doubt

I was on Mavs ML but yes youre right I did think they would lose after I saw your thread

LOL never in doubt. Did you watch the game?

[Cappinpicks]

he had forever to double pump for the wide open jay, nothing but net

[Cappinpicks]

LOL never in doubt. Did you watch the game?

mavs were feeding off the crowd their shots were going in like heat seeking missles

[BigDofBA]

Stupid thread.

The Spurs did run the clock down.

[NardVa]

Manu did his job. Made the shot with less than 2 seconds on the clock. Spurs had the win but Vince made an amazing shot.

[Eddy Munny]

So your saying Dallas only hits a 3pter in that situation 7% of the time? LMAO. I'll take those odds any day. They probably hit it 1 out 5 times.

Are you kidding? No way does Dallas (or any team for that matter) sink a 3 pointer in that situation 20% of the time. 1.7 seconds and needing a 3ball usually means some terrible, off-balanced heave at the basket that's lucky to draw iron, not a 1 out of 5 proposition. Vince just hit a great shot, plain and simple. It's not Manu's fault.

[BigDofBA]

If you really think it's a bad idea to have a 2 point lead with 1.7 seconds left you are a dumb human being.
